Things I forgot to mention

Again; how could I forget Daniel Craig as James Bond in my list of obsessions? Hoo boy.

In another lifetime I hope I am a linguist. My fascination with Bond led to my first encounter with the notion of "received pronunciation", and my recent infatuation with Doctor Who and the "northern" Doctor led to an interesting foray into the wikipedia articles on English, the features of various English dialects and so on. The 10th Doctor, David Tennant, is Scottish but is described variously as speaking London English, or Estuary English. In the way of things internet this led me to a diversion into American vs. British English, and the vagaries of American regional dialects.

I WANT to go to England. I want to visit Scotland. I want to be surrounded by Scottish accents, and to drink Scotch whiskey all night long. I want to visit the home of the Bronte sisters. I want to climb in the peak district. I want to do all these things with Ross. I want to go to the Tate Modern.
